What’s the deal with the hostility between LED growers and there lights?
LED growers constantly get in pissing matches over who’s light is better.
I find it extremely childish and annoying.
I can’t recall any hardcore (Lol) HPS or CMH growers arguing over who’s lights are better.

I just always feel like I have to say something when someone posts a picture of half a dozen plants under their new "1000w" blurple led. I don't want to make them feel bad about their purchase but the sooner they find out the light isn't really 1000 watts the sooner they can get their grow on the right track. That being said, sometimes I see these people get very defensive when this is brought to their attention. The problems I have as others have mentioned is the gap between the marketing claims of some of these lights and what they can actually deliver is huge, especially for novice growers, and they are not even competitively priced. I don't think there has ever been a similar situation with hps, mh, or cmh products so its tough to compare.
Lets say you hired a contractor to build that new grow palace you are wrapping up instead of doing it yourself. If after you gave them your money they built something that was inferior to what you had understood was agreed upon and they justified it by saying something like "1000sqft is just the model number, this unit really has 100 square feet, for your needs we recommend 9 more units," wouldn't you wish someone had warned you if they could?
